The 2019 politically correct Grammys and the self-licking ice cream cone |
2019-02-11 |
[American Thinker] With their exposed artificially inflated breasts aglow during Sunday's Grammy presentation (and that's just those who identify as women; Adam Levine wanna bes were nowhere to be seen/heard), the host, presenters and performers were an inclusive politically correct group.The Recording Academy has announced a sweeping inclusion initiative focused on correcting gender inequity in the music industry.So inclusive that a noted non-musician with most of the politically correct checked boxes participated in the opening of the televised portion of the show. Black? Check. Female? Check. Politically correct? Check and double check. Yes, there was Michelle Obama, wife of former president Barack Hussein Obama (D), justifying her appearance -- she likes music. Attired in glittery flowing pants and top, standing side by side with such diverse females as white ethnic Italian Lady Gaga, Hispanic Jennifer Lopez, black Jada Pinkett Smith and black host Alicia Keys, Obama gushed: |

#5 So the zombie show was on last night. Also, Walking Dead premiered. Abu, daughter came home from school the other week singing, 'Sounds of Silence'. Didn't get that from me, not that I have a problem with S&G just don't listen to it. Also, nephew and his friends get together on weekends and listen to vinyl. Was at a youth game recently, they played some get fired up music. Something something get your asses up and down like a stripper on a pole or something. Youth game. Yeah. |

#4 We watched the entire show last night. Mr. Wife has a particular interest because one of the nominees, Danielle Nicole, will be playing at our big summer blues festival. He commented how nice it was that this year was very much a joyous celebration of music, whereas last year he was so bored he had turned it off partway through. |

#3 And, no, Alicia Keys' cleavage was not enough to get me to watch. |

#2 I saw an article lately that claims Millennials Remember Popular Pop’s 1960s-90s Golden Age. It's easy for me to believe because I can't think of a single current popular song. That could be just because I'm old but I can't stand listening to the radio anymore. Rhythm, harmony and melody all seem to have been forgotten. There's a beat, usually generated by a computer, and a high-pitched and thin voice chanting and moaning rather than actually singing. Often times the voice is enhanced or distorted by some kind of electronic device. There is no oomph, no clever lyrics, no blazing guitar solos, nothing memorable. Kind of like bland, electric Muzak. It's almost like one of Any Rand's predictions in Atlas Shrugged. And, think about it: Would the dour, timid, humorless, unimaginative bureaucrats in the old Soviet Union allowed the release of A Day in the Life or Stairway to Heaven? How about Cream's I Feel Free? And if it goes on long enough, guys who would normally be inspired to get together in a garage with guitars have nothing to inspire them. Even if they did, today's music industry would stifle them. |

#1 Can't stand drum machines, screeching female voices or (c)rap lyrics. When the GF goes in one of those mall stores that blasts that stuff, I tell her "I'll see you out here..." |
